"The Greatest Story Ever Told" is the final episode of the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever (an alternative title given to Aqua Teen Hunger Force). It is the ninth episode of the eleventh season and the 139th episode of the series overall. In the episode Frylock and Carl become immortal after using special "Ceaseless" shampoo, while Master Shake and Meatwad seek immortally through religion.
Series creators were not made aware of the cancellation of the series until half way through the final season, regardless they were still able to make a finale that they felt "does justice" for the show. The episode immediately preceding this one, "The Last One Forever and Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It)", was falsely promoted as the series finale and aired on August 23, 2015. "The Greatest Story Ever Told" was then quietly released online on August 26, 2015 as a hidden Easter egg on the Adult Swim website. It later made its television debut in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim on August 30, 2015, with very little promotion and was listed as a rerun of "Rabbot" on most television listings. This episode has received positive reception and its television debut was the second highest rated episode from the season. This episode has been made available for digital purchase and is available for on demand streaming on Hulu Plus.
Master Shake and Meatwad are watching a video of Shake photobombing clams from the previous weekend on television. Shake turns off the television and announces that he is, in fact, immortal. He then proceeds to pull out a book called "The Bibble" which he refers to as the Bible. Shake becomes angered when Meatwad corrects him on his error and demands he kneel down and pray to the "Almighty Jimmy", as part of his religion. Frylock enters the room and questions Shake's religion, which promises immortality. Shake states that Frylock isn't eligible for his religion or immortality, before leaving the house with Meatwad. Frylock denounces immortality, before cutting to him washing his fries in Carl's pool with a bottle of "Ceaseless" shampoo.
